Efforts being made to remove last person from Apollo House, court told
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 12 January 2017, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan was informed that the occupation of Apollo House in Dublin City Centre had ended and that all homeless occupants had left. The Home Sweet Home Coalition, which had organised the occupation, confirmed that all donated furniture and property were to be removed, but one male resident had refused to leave. Counsel for the coalition acknowledged the court had earlier been told the occupation had ended and expressed confidence that the man would vacate. The Gardaí were handling the matter and had requested a pause on removal until the building was fully vacated. The receivers, appointed by Nama, welcomed the development and offered assistance in winding down the occupation. The judge adjourned the case to the following Tuesday, allowing the vacating process to continue and permitting parties to re‑apply if necessary.
